206 THE UNIVERSE 



As to the infallibility of science, she has nothing to 

 boast of over religion. Science has been groping her 

 devious way from colossal blunder to blunder, and 

 championing as many absurdities and superstitions 

 through all the ages as ever the religious devotee 

 dreamed or the religious concept propagated. She is 

 still teaching some of the grossest superstitions and 

 incredible absurdities. Science has received nearly 

 every fundamental truth from religion, and is at 

 last steadily developing and proving the true re- 

 ligious concept of the universe, in showing that 

 all visible things are the product of invisible spirit, 

 invisible law and invisible force; that the spiritual 

 and invisible world is the supreme reality; that 

 its Creator and Ruler must be the Father of Spirits, 

 and virtually re-echoes the words of Christ, "God 

 is a Spirit, and they that worship Him must wor- 

 ship Him in spirit and in truth." It teaches univer- 

 sal love, helpfulness and equality, which was dem- 

 onstrated by Christ when He called for water and 

 washed the feet of those who worshiped Him. This 

 was His last object lesson, so little understood in 

 Christian philosophy . But ethical and psychic science 

 have lifted it to be the glory of perfected civiliza- 

 tion, and endorsed the exalted truth, "Let him 

 that is greatest among you be the servant of all." 



All knowledge and truth are in a sense inspired rev- 

 elation from God, whether written in nature or the 

 human soul. There is scientific revelation written 

 in physical facts and recognized by the senses; 

 there is God's revelation written in the secret con- 

 science and reasoning power of man, and they natur- 

 ally sustain and supplement each other and the re- 

 vealed truths of the Scriptures.
